SHARING TIME: ღ - I am so close to finishing my update for the website that I can taste it. But I have been working on it so long that I think I might punch something if I work on it much more. DILEMMA. ღ - Puck/Rachel manifesto over at het_reccers! (I love the description of why she ships them and the part about their conversations. It's much more eloquent than I could have been, but sums my feelings up so very well.) ღ - Zau did a bunch of Jeff/Annie recs here and, seriously, my backlog for the two of them is nuts and this is only making it worse and I love her for it. ღ - Speaking of Jeff/Annie, there's a manifesto for them as well on het_reccers and, seriously, that comm has been so much fun lately! ღ - This time a Shin/Yankumi manifesto and I'm delighted how active this comm has been!

SHARING TIME: ღ - You know what's kind of awful? The love-hate relationship I have with Nier. I think I could really get into the game, it sounds like it has all the hallmarks of what I usually like about games! I even played the US version for about an hour and, okay, I wasn't that thrilled with it, the controls were a little wonky for me (mostly of the "ugh this may make me vomit if it doesn't stop tilting up on its fucking own" variety) but it could have gotten better! I was still only just learning the controls and it always takes me awhile to warm up to a game! But then I was readin on Wikipedia how there are two different versions of the game and only one was released in the US! Naturally, it's the older, gruffer, more buffed version of Nier and Yonah is his daughter! Not that I have anything against fathers and daughters (I quite like that dynamic) but it didn't quite look like all the pretty fanart I'd seen, so... bwuh?

Then, looking at Wikipedia! Two different versions! Nier Gestalt is the version released in English! Nier Replicant is the other option in Japanese! Where, the biggest difference? Nier is younger and slimmer, prettier really, and Yonah is his sister instead. Oh, how I laughed. JAPAN KNOWS ITS SISTERLUSTER AUDIENCE WELL. Also, I would totally play that game. Hence the love-hate relationship I have with this game. (Yahtzee has a fun review of the game up, I always enjoy watching him rip everything to shreds.)

I just want a pretty fantasy-style game to play after having finished FFXIII! And Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom isn't going to be out for ages! And just look how pretty it is and AHHHH I AGREE I WANT A GOLEM TOOOOOOOO--! (The Last Guardian looks really pretty, too. *__*)

P.S. SHRIEK, NEW FIRE EMBLEM DS GAME REMAKE AND WE WANTS THE PRECIOUSSSSS. (Even if it is that game that I hiss and spit at, refusing to acknolwedge its existence. I WILL PLAY IT, BUT I WILL STILL DISOWN IT. D:< )

P.P.S. Dumping too many recs into one post? I don't know what you're talking about it. :|

SHARING TIME: ღ - More Bleach icons of the Ichigo, Orihime, and IchiHime variety. They're beautiful and as;ldkfjasl;kj it was an effort not to, idk, renew my paid account and redecorate the whole journal. (Of course, I also nearly did that with my Sailor Moon obsessions. And IT IS A FIGHT not to do with Viewfinder and Junjou Romantica, too. orz orz orz) She really is my favorite icon maker in this fandom, though. ღ - Now that I have finished Final Fantasy XIII (at only 50 hours, bwuh? I feel like it should have had at least 10 or 20 more hours than that!), I need fic. Especially fic that makes with the okay-Hope's-a-little-older-so-you-don't-need-to-feel-squicky smoochies! (He's going to grow up to be so hot.) ღ - P.S. I'm wondering. Do you think Junjou Romantica might have eaten me a little? I'm not sure....

SHARING TIME: ღ - Oh, also, yesterday's fandom secrets had a secret about One Piece and where was the goodfic, which got a quick comments thread which was mostly notable for theserecommendation posts. Awesome! (Also, probably not dial-up friendly, ANY OF THOSE links!)(I'm flattered to listed among them, but I'm also genuinely excited about other people's recs, too! ♥)

SHARING TIME: ღ - Ugh, you guys. I haven't even properly finished Silver, so why am I playing Gold now? Other than the fact that I can name my character "Heart" (because I'm a nerd) and get a Chikorita this time around? Also, the lack of Eevees pain me in this game. Clearly I need a second DS so that I can exchange them with myself, since I got a whole set with Platinum. :| ღ - Also, I remembered that I found the Pokemon search engine awhile back and so I was like, hm, maybe there are one or two Green/Red sites out there? I'll look just out of curiosity. I should not have done that. *sobs*

SHARING TIME: ღ - Link snatched from mklutz: WHAT IS THIS-- I DON'T EVEN-- I really cannot come up with words. ღ - The latest Bleach wank and oh my is it ever delicious. I feel like I should be cranky about how Ichigo/Orihime fans are treated in this fandom, but I'm too busy lolling forever at EVERYTHING HERE. It is hilarious. (P.S. OMG YAY! \o/)

SHARING TIME: ღ - I spent about half an hour watching clips of infoMania here and it's another of those shows in the vein of The Soup or Best Week Ever. There've been a lot of shows like this popping up lately, but this is one of the few I've actually liked. It genuinely made me laugh out loud at more than one point and it moves, they really pack a lot in without being too frantic about it! ღ - Lassiter/Juliet ship manifesto, which means my fannish life is just that much closer to being complete.

SHARING TIME: ღ - I am having one of those days where I mean to read some longer fic, but then all I seem to find are shorter pieces. Also, having watched the Sex Pistols OAV, I am back to being deliriously in love with the characters. God, what's with me bringing back my fandoms from four years ago lately??
